Like the IRL princess she is, Emma Watson insisted all her Belle costumes be eco-friendly

Emma Watson is our dream BFF for many reasons including (but not limited to): Being an outspoken feminist, being hilarious, and caring about the environment. While promoting Beauty and the Beast, which is currently the BIGGEST movie in the world, Watson has been sharing her press journey with fans, opening up about her passion for sustainable fashion.

As Watson wrote on @the_press_tour, “The cape was made from upcycled, traditionally woven British Jacob’s wool from around 1970, bought at a vintage fair. The fabric was overdyed using natural dyes, and the lining was made from paper like Tussah silk.”

In her Instagram post, Watson, goes into detail describing every aspect of her “Something There” costume, from her hand-woven jacket, which was overdyed with low impact dyes, to the boots, which were produced, “using the most advanced environmentally respectful techniques, such as chrome-free tanning, and solvent-free finishing.”
